AT a Numerous and highly Respectable MEET ING of the INHABITANTS of BRISTOL, held on Tuesday, the 15th May instant, at the Guildhall, The Right Worshipful the MAYOR, J. K. HABERFIELD, Esq., in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to : Rcsolved.—Moyed by Ricua RD Asir, Esq. ; seconded by the Rev , WM. BUNTING That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the system of apprentice- ship in the British Colonies is Slavery under a new name ; possess ing its essential characteristics of compulsory and uncompensated labour, and accompanied by its attendant evils of cruelty, oppres sion, and wrong, which are exercised, moreover, towards a people innocent of any crime warranting the infliction ; and who have manifested under it most exemplary patience. Resolved.—Moved by J. E. LUNELL, Esq. ; seconded by SAMUEL BowLET, That the refusal of immediate Emancipation is an act in direct opposition to the plainest principles of justice, humanity, and reli gion, as well as to sound policy, in reference to the interests not only of the Slaves but also of the Masters, and to the peace and welfare of society in the British Colonies. . _ _ Resolved.—Mo;ed by JAMPS Wool), Esq., seconded by the Rey, T. S. CRISP. That the defeat of Sir George Strickland's motion for emancipa tion on the Ist of August next, and the substitution of Lord Gle nelg's Bill for the professed melioration of the apprenticeship, have given just occasion for the deepest disappointment and regret. And this meeting feels itself called upon t o r enewe d ae d unceas i ng exer tion, until justice shall have been secured for the oppressed appren tices by their entire and unconditional liberation, and adopts the following as its Petition to the Legislature, viz.:— " To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled. " The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the City and Borough of Bristol assembled at a public meeting held at the Guild-Hall on Tuesday the 15th of May, " Humbly sheweth, " That your Petitioners most earnestly deprecate the continu ance of the system of Negro apprenticeship in the Colonies as being unnecessary in itself, and injurious to the Negroes. " That the justice and policy of the demand for its immediate ter mination has been fully substantiated by official documents. " Your petitioners, therefore, earnestly pray your Right Honour able House to pass, without delay, a Bill to secure the immediate and unconditional freedom of the Negro Apprentices in the British Colonies. " And your petitioners will ever pray, &c. Resolved.—Moved by JOSEPH REYNOLDS, Esq. ; seconded by the Rev. WIII. Lucy. That the petitions be signed by the Chairman, the Worshipful the Mayor, on behalf of the Meeting. That the petitics to the House of Lords be entrusted for presentation to the Mitquis of Sligo ; and that to the House of Commons to the Honourable Francis Henry FitaHardinge Berkeley, with the best thanks of this Meeting for his support of Sir George Strickland's motion. Resolved.—Moved by the Rev. H. J. ROPER; seconded by JOSEPH EATON. That this Meeting expresses its admiration at the noble conduct of the Marquis of Sligo, and other Colonial Proprietors, who have determined to liberate their Apprentices on the First of August next. Resolved.—Moved by J. Woon ; seconded by W. SANDERS. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Worshipful the Mayor, for his readiness in calling the Meeting, and for his kindness in taking the Chair. REV. R. CHALMERS.- CHURCH AND STATE. The Committee of " The Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious Liberty," perceiving the recent efforts made by " The Christian Influence Society," and other bodies, through the Lec tures of Dr. Chalmers and various means, to eulogize, perpetuate, and extend, Natio n al R e li g i ous Establishments—and being con vinced that expanded honest inquiry, and impartial discussion, will lead to other conclusions, and to results more favourable to truth —public morals—Christian piety—the vindication of the rights of conscience—the general welfare—and improvement and salvation of the people—have resolved to present Prizes of One Hundred Guineas and of Twenty-Five Guineas to the Authors of the best and second-best Essays on the subject, supporting the opinion they have expressed.

The principle involved in the galvanization of metals, and the appli_ cability of zinc to protect iron front oxidation, has long been known to the scientific world. Several of the most eminent philosophers and chymists of Europe have recognised its accuracy, and have bestowed great labour, time, and attention on the subject, the object being the Practical adaptation of the discovery to purposes of public benefit and general utility. This desideratum has been accomplished, and the promoters of this Company, confident of the vast advantage that would accrue to the ma ritime, commercial, and manufacturing interest of the empire by the general introduction and use of zinced or galvanized iron, as also of the elticiency and originality of the process which will be employed by the Managers of the Company for the protection of metals against oxidation, are satisfied that they can enter into economical and successful rivalry ith every other establishment aiming at the same object. The manufacture of zinc, or speltre, has long had their most devoted nsideratien, and the smelting and manufacture of iron in all its varie ties, is a branch of commerce in which they were educated. In the manufacture of zinc they have arrived at an important prac t , al improvement, by which the metal produced is fully equal to the German, by which the price of production is materially diminished, and by which the quantity of coal required in the smelting of the olende is greatly reduced; thus effecting economy of time, labour, and fuel, a feature equally affecting the interest of the manufacturer as of the c:nsumer of one of the principal staples of commerce. Assisted by some eminent practical chymists, they have made a series of experiments, proving the value and accuracy of the principle of gal vanization, and its general applicabilityto all cases where iron requ tree protection against oxidation, whether by exposure to atmospheric damp or immersion. The value of the discovery, and its general uliity, have already been tested in France, by the high premiums which the shares in the zinced and galvanized metal Companies have borne and sustained in the Parisian market, and no doubt can be entertained that in this great commercial and maritime nation, where the economical application of the principle must prove so eminently beneficial, the object accomplished will be likewise sustained by public approbotion and support. A detailed prospectus is in preparation; and will speedily be published. Applications for the remaining shares to be made by letters, post paid, addressed to the Provisional Committee of Management, at 21, St. Swith JAMES WILSON, Secretary. PUBLICATIONS.

Spices are flat, and to-day we had sou - e very small sales of Pepper, Ginger, &c., which went at former prices. The imports are light owing to easterly winds. The business advertised for to-morrow is 700 boxes yellow Havannah Sugar (New crod) ; 200 bags Bengal; 1,300 boxes yellow Havannah ; 500 bags Havannah Coffee; and 275 barrels Porto Rico.

On the motion of Mr. IL STEUART, it was ordered that the House its rising adjourn until Friday. Mr. FAZAKERLY brought up a report from the Poor-law Committee. On the motion of Mr. CRAWFORD the Middlesex County Court Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. On the motion of Mr. G. BERKELY the Dean Forest Roaes Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. PENDARVIS brought up the report on the Newquay (Corr. wall) Harbour Bill. Mr. HAWES presented a petition praying for leave to bring in a Bill for forming a Company for :the Galvanization of Metals. Referred to the Committee•on Private Petitions. Mr. HODGES presented several petitions from parishes to Southamp ton, in favour of the New Poor Law Bill, and praying that no material alteration be made in it; also one from Rochester, praying that no clause be inserted in the Copyright Bill which might tend to fetter the diffusion of useful knowledge. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Birmingham, praying for the abolition of Slavery. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition to the same effect. Also peti tions from places in Ayr and Perth, praying for a reduction of the rates of postage. The Hon. Hon. Member then presented petitions from the pressmen of Leicester square, Old Bailey, and Frith•street, Soho, against the Copyright Bill. The Hon. Member stated, that as the rules of the House curtailed the observations of Members on the presentation of pe titions, the petitioners had curtailed the size of the paper on which the petition was written, in order to skew the absurdity of the manner in which the petition of the people were treated in that House.—(A laugh.) Mr. ROUND presented a petition from the Guardians and other parish officcrs of the parish of Yelverton, complaining of the operatic n of the Poor Law Act. Mr. BAYNA RD presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. Paul, Deptford, complaining that neither the victualling-offices or the dock yard at Deptford paid poor-rates or land-tax. Sir C. E. GREY presented petitions from Tynemouth, praying that the system of negro apprenticeship might terminate on the Ist of August next. Also a petition against the establishment of the British Pledge Company. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented petitions from places in Yorkshire, against the negro apprenticeship system. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the parish of Blackrock, Kil kenny, praying for the entire abolition of tithes. If any more scenes like—(Cries of " Order, order.") . , Mr. LITTON considered that the rule of the House, that no Hon. Member had a right to make comments upon a petition which were likely to a debate. He would like to hear the opinion of the Speaker on the subject. The SPEAKER said there was no rule on the subject, but the House had generally acknowledged that it was for the convenience of all that the substance of the petition should be stated.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME—Then the petitioners complain that the Church in Ire land was the bane of that country, an opinion to which he had given ut terance more than twenty years ago, and in which he still cordially con curred. The time of the House was entirely occupied with the reception of petitions up to the time of our going to press. NEW YORK. APRIL 20, 1838.-1 expected before this to have been able to hare informed you of the re-establishment of peace in the Canadas, but I have been sorely disappointed. The reign of oppression continues in Lower Canada and in Upper Canada. The new Lieutenant-Governor has commenced his administration by shedding blood—by executions and quarterings--contrary to all that we were led to expect from the declara tions of both parties, Whigs and Tories, Ministers and Oppositionists, in the British Parliament. For the particulars of this horrid butchery I must refer you to the papers which I send. You have already heard, I presume, that Mr. Lount and Captain Matthews were arrested, and put upon their trial for high treason, at Toronto. The debates in Parliament, and the general tone of the London Press, in duced us to believe and to hope that a merciful policy would be pursued towards them and others. Indeed, if Ido not mistake, Ministers them selves declared that they had forwarded instructions to Canada to pre vent the shedding of blood. It turns out now that they have, as usual, deceived you and the people of Canada. On Sir George Arthur's ar rival at Toronto, addresses were presented to him from divers public bodies and private persons. In reply to one presented to him by the Mayor and Corporation of Toronto, he held forth at length upon the blessed qualities of mercy, quoting an extract from Shakspeare. Every person was led to believe that a merciful and forgiving policy would be followed. Lount and Matthews had been ordered for execution upon the 12th, and this answer led people to imagine that they would be re prieved. Much anxiety was felt at their threatened fate. Petitions, with several thousand names, were presented on their behalf. To the great disappointment, horror, and indignation of the Province, they were executed upon the 12th, and their bodies given over for muti lation, notwithstanding the tears and entreaties of their wives and families. Several others are ordered for execution to-day, and others for the 24th. You cannot conceive the shock this bloodshed has given to the public feeling here. Every person speaks with horror of it; and the Government is regarded as barbarous which could have permitted it, now that the danger is at an end. It will seriously damage the influence or England in the Canadas, and hasten that separation which must eventua4 happen. How will your Ministers in Parliament took, or reply, when they arc questioned about these cruelties? By a refc. rence to the debates it will appear that they disclaimed all idea of, or wish for, bloodshed. Contrary to their declarations, they have since authorized Sir Geo. Arthur to commit the severities they disclaimed, for offences which Sir Francis Head boasts in his dispatches that he encouraged and held out every inducement for their commissier. It was impossible that Sir George Arthur could have gone this length unless he was authorized by Lord Glenelg. The men who have been sa crificed were of unexceptionable private character. Lount was a native of Pensylvania, to which state his father emigrated with the celebrated Dr. Joseph Priestley. His brother is registrar of the county of Simcoe, for which county he was formerly returning officer. Lount had a large farm and a numerous family of sons and daughters. He was about forty years of age, and I believe, of the Methodist persua sion. Captain Matthews was an American of about forty years of age. He has been long established in Pickering, county of York, where he had a large farm. I mentioned in my last letter that some of the New York papers are forbidden to be circulated in Canada. This was a high-handed measure, sufficient to excite surprise. The extinction of the Liberal press within the province had left the Tories no materials at home upon which to foment their rancour, and they have therefore waged war against the liberal papers of New York. But, Sir, this is not all ; they have not stopped here, They have commenced war upon the press of London; They have begun by ostracising the London and Westminster Review. In the January Number of that work appeared an article, entitled " Lord Durham and the Canadians." Some Canadian Gentlemen at Montreal having read the article thought that its circulation might do good, and pave the way for a favourable reception of Lord Durham. It was, therefore, determined to re.print it as a pamphlet, and 1)r. Francis Antoine Larocque, of Montreal, accordingly, ordered the work to be done at the office of Mr. Louis Ferault, proprietor of the late Montreal Vindicator a paper which cuts no small figure in the dispatches of Lord Gosford, and which he sup pressed before he left the province. The work was accordingly executed, and delivered to ;dr. Larocque. The Montreal magistrates, however, and Sir John Colborne, thought the article to be too liberal, and they have positively seized the types and the presses of the Vindicator office, where the work was executed, and they have thrown Mr. Larocque into gaol, where he now remains. I forward to you a copy of the pamphlet, in order that you may satisfy yourself that it contains no new matter. Who the author of it is, Ido not know. Whoever he may be, this ag. gression will enable him to form a correct idea of the state of political liberty, and the freedom of the press, in Lower Canada. He could have little imagined that the Government would have wreaked their vengeance on the Canadians for reprinting it. Mr. Spring Rice and others stated, in the House of Commons, that not two in an hundred of the Canadians were able to read. If this be true, can you explain why the oppressors of Lower Canada have ex. eluded the L'Estafettc of New York, a French paper, from the pro. vince—or why they forbid the circulation of articles from the London and Westminster Review Dr. Rolph is in this city. A true bill for high treason ,Os been found against him at Toronto. Sutherland has been found glty by a court-martial, and is to be transported to Botany Bay. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OP COMMONS, MAY 15. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY BILL. On the Order of the Day for the second reading of Bill being moved by Mr. ROUND, Captain PECHELL presented a petition from Lord Petro against the Bill. The Noble Lord stated that the Railway would pass through his property, which was of great value ; that the Company had agreed on his withdrawing opposition to the Bill to give him 20,0001. for land and 100,0001. for compensation ; but that the Company had refused to acknowledge the agreement, and had given notice of an inten tion to enter the petitioner's lands, and that the Lord Chancellor had granted an injunction on the 23d of December last to restrain them from so doing. Mr. LANGDALE said the Company had thought proper to go to the Courts ; the Courts had decided it was a real and bona tide trans action and therefore the House was bound to see that nothing was done which could impede the carrying of it into effect. Mr. FIUME said it appeared to him to be a most unjust proceeding, and the House ought not to interfere in any matter pending before Courts ofJustice. What right had the House to interpose for the purpose of stopping the further progress of this Bill t—(Hear, hear.) It had been laid down, more than once, as a rule, that the House ought not to med dle with anything that was pending before a Court of Law. If such an agreement had been entered into let it be enfOrccd, but the Bill ought certainly not to be stopped merely because two parties had quarrelled. It was highly unjust, and he was surprised that his Hon. Friend the Member for Dublin wished to stop this Bill, merely because as injunction had been granted. Air. O'CONNELL said the Hon. Member must have misunderstood him. He had spoken of a fraud committed by this Company, who insisted upon coming before that House in order that they might have an odditional advantage to meet that fraud. The Company had not instructed any Member to contradict that statement. They wanted to gain an advantage by a new Bill, which they had not by the present. All he proposed was, that the Bill should be postponed for a fortnight. This was agreed to, and the conversation then dropped. BIRMINGHAM, BRISTOL, AND LONDON JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. HANDLEY moved the second reading of the Birmingham, Bris tol, and London Junction Railway Bill. Captain WOOD said that he would oppos•: the Bill unless it could bi• e.hown by its supporters that the Railway would not so encircle the me. Awl,. as to interfere with the ordinary and ueeessary it-adj.' of the city. Mr. HANDLEY said, the object of the Bill was only to alter some of the net nal regulations of the Company, and the opposition to the Bill The SOLICITOItaGENERAL presented similar petitions from St.. „ Andrew's, Holborn, and several other places. Colonel CONOLLY presented a petition from a parish in Do - negal, in favour of the Lochfoyle and Lochswilly Drainage Bill. Mr. FRESHFIELD presented several petitions from the parish of St. ▪ George the Martyr, St. George Bloomsbury, Marylebone, and St. Magnus, in favour of the Small Debts Bill. Mr. EARL presented a petition from the city of Oxford In favour of the Oxford and Great Western Railway Bill, Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition iron? Sunderland, against the British Pledge Society Bill. Mr. HUME gave notice that on the 17th of May he would : nitre for certain returns relative to the admission of the public to the Tow,er, and on the 22d he would call the attention of the House to the state or' the law respecting Savings' Banks, and more resolutions thereon. LIGHTING OF THE HOUSE. Sir F. TRENCH wished to ask the House a question which related to their own cipmfort and convenience (and he was sorry the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not then in his place), which was, whether they were satisfied with the new mode of lighting ?—(Hear and laughter.) If Hon. Members were, it was of importance that an order should be made which would not be very extravagant, for three lustres, which would cost about 1491. The former experiment of lighting had cost 71. per night; this would only cost 5/. His. He had ascertained that the expense of lighting Goldsmiths' Hall was 71. per night ; rend the expense at Almacks—(Laughter)—was 101. 4s. per night. fie was very anxious that his arrangements should be carried into effect_ He had seen Mr. Speaker (and he was the first Speaker that he had ever seen do so), reading a paper without a candle on the table.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") In fact he believed his plan of lighting the House gave great comfort to those who sat . I.elow as well as to those who sat above.—(Laughter.) He eves sorry the Chancellor of the Exchequer seas not then in his piece, although he believed that both that Right Hon. Gentleman aid the Speaker were favourable to his plan. He hoped an order would be given for the con struction of those hastres, whereby a considerable saving woul,l be effected. The cost of them, as he had stated before, would be only . 1491., if the old lustres were taken in exchange. ADJOURNED DEBATE.—APPROPRIATION CLAUSE. The Order of the Day for resuming the adjounsed debate upon the Irish Tithes Bill having been read, Mr. LITTON said he would, as briefly as he could, state the opinions which induced him to vote against the details and against the principle of the resolutions, and to support the motion of the Hon. Baronet, the Member for North Devon. It was a great satis. faction to him to know that hie opinions coincided with these of the great mass of the Protestant populistion of Ireland; and that there were . few of the members of the Established Church in that country who did not perceive the injury which those resolutions, it' carried into effect, must inflict on Protestantism.—(Hear, from the Tory benches) The Clergy themselves ought to be consulted on a question of this kind, and they were all unanimous in opposition to the measure. There was therefore no ground for the assertion which was so boldly made on the other side, that the Bill was a boon to the Clergy. They on the contrary considered it a measure striking at the roots of private property, and tending to the ruin of the Church. The Noble Lord opposite had very truly stated that this measure should be looked upon with a view to its effects upon the peace of Ireland.. —(Hear, hear, hear.) But he thought that the more fair course for the Noble Lord would be, to give the opponents of the mea sure, on his (the Opposition) side of the House, the opportunity of explaining fully the principles which would induce them to vote for the motion of the Honourable Baronet, and against the resolutions. If the discussion were fairly, fully, and plainly taken, the resolutions of 1835 must be removed from the books, because they forced on the House in advance the principle of appropriation, which every one sitting upon that side of the Rouge most strenuously opposed, lie thought it important that the House, and especially the Eng lish Members on both sides of the House, should know the exact state in which the property of the Church of Ireland was at pre sent placed—what were its general receipts, whet was the state of the payment of the tithes of that country owing to the working of the • various Acts of Parliament which had been introduced—that they might appreciate the suggestion that in offering what was called a boon, by the present resolution, anything of service was done to the Clergy, or anything effected, save a spoliation of their incomes. By the operation of Lord Stanley's Act, which was passed in 1832, two modes were suggested, by which the payment of Tithe was taken from the occupier. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The first W. by the landlords who had the power to undertake the payment of Tithes, to enter into a contract which made them liable to the clergyman for the entire tithes of their estates, giving them for the trouble of collection and the risk of loss, a bontis of 15 per cent. In the Province of Ulster six-sevenths at least of the tithes of that province were paid by the undertaking landlords. The Clergy in that Pere.. vince had not to encounter the hostility of the tenants, for they were dealing with those who throughout all Ireland were pay.. ing the tithes—he meant the landlords. The clergy of Ulster were thus paid five-sixths, or six-sevenths of their income, without the slightest difficulty or loss. They had just as much title, as easily en.. forced, and as successfully acted upon, as any landlord had to his rent. Therefore, as to that course, he would ask what bonus was given to them be deducing at once an additional 15 per cent., without the slightest necessity fcr it, or the slightest return being made for it. They did not come into collision with the occupier; they hsd a fixed settled title—settled by law, for which both remedies ut law and In equity had been given them ; and he would venture to say, that there was no instance in the province of Ulster, in which the landlord had put the Clergy to sue hint at law for that which was not tithes, but rent charges; with respect to the other clauses, the other provisions of Lord Stanley's Act, in every case of a tenancy from year to year, sub sequent to Aug., 1833, in every case of a lease mode since that period the landlord was, by that very Act, of having his :and discharged, charged with the tithe without deduction. Every lease made shire 1832, and erery existing tenant from year to year is not liable to the payment of tithes, but the landl - rd . liable for it. Now, his object was to show that in the southern and western parts of Ireland those most disaffected towards the payment of tithes were now willing to pay them. He would also say ehgli respect to the occupiers, that the great proportion of them paid ther' tithes. Now he would un dertake to say, that when the returns which tee should move for were laid upon the table, it would be shown, upon an average, that the clergy received 50 per cent. of their tithe• without deduction. Was it any boon to take anything from the 50 in ,: cent. which was really paid P Do they produce peace, and any ebsence.' of litigation ? Do they produce regularity of collection - with respect to this 50 per cent. P Regularity and puectuality they already had' Without litigation, and with the assistance of his lay brethren of the Protestant faith, who were in fact the real pay., of the tithe'. the landlord was the real payer of the tithe both in England Putt Ireland; the c'eegsman was in peaceab e receipt of his Si) per cent. The 50 per cent, paid without the trouble of collection, and without its being the source of litigation, was it a boon to give it him at a loss of 30 per cent. The 50 per cent. was now secured to him—as secure to him as the well paid rents of any gentlemen in the House. It was upon these grounds that he Impugned the first reeolution—it was an uncalh d-for reduction of e the income of a clegeyman, upon which lie depended, and might reduce him to beggary and ruin. So far he had endeavoured to show the House that by this firet resolu tion they were acting most unjustly. It was very well to ,`alk of taking off 15 per cent, from the incomes of the Clergy, but it would by and by reach 100 per cent —(Hear, hear)—and that merely for the sake of satisfying a certain piny, and if the Clergy refus ed they would then be called a grespiug and grinding act who pre-' ferred money to the Wets , of the realm.-- (elear, hear.) With respect to the incomes of the successors of the present Clergy, he begged the attention of the Heusi while he stated his total dissent from the version of the Noble I.ord who closed the debate last night upon the effect of these resolutio.ls. Notwithstanding the Govern ment had avoided any very distil:et enunciation of an inten tion to appropriate to secular purposes any portion of the in come of the present clergy, he must be allowed to say that lie would demonstrate that with respect to their sucree sort, those resolutions if passed, bound the House and the country to appropriate for every year four-fifths of the Income of the Churn.' —( Hear, hear.) The House would please to observe that, by the second or those resolu tions, so much of the rent charge as was now paid in lieu of to thes should be purchase able by the Government, at sixteen years' purchassh at the rate of seventy per cent. The clergy were no longer to receive e.'rhes, or the present existing rent-charge; but instead of either, they were to receive an annuity from the Consolidated Fund, which, he con tended would not, according to the effect of those resolutions produce more than 31 per cent —(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord opposite (Lord John Russell) cried " hear, hear," but he (Mr. Litton) would assert that when the future income of the Clergy was considered the effect of the proposed purchase of the rent charge would be to reduce the value not to seventy per cent., hut to fifty-six per cont.—(Hear, hear.) Did the Noble Lord mean to say that the sixteen years' purchase.money was to be invested, not in the Funds, Lott in land ? —(Lord J. Russell:—" No, no, sot in lane.") Well then suppose it were in land, which would give the greater probaln:'ty of a fixed income in many parts of Ireland, the purchase money of land !vould not yield more than 3 per cent., and in those places where: land wa s cheapest land was worth from 30 to 33 years' purchase, acts sm" instances he knew it to be worth forty years' purchase. All the differghce therefore, would go into the pockets cf the State for secular purposes. By the Gth resolution, the rent charges, produced from the ecclesias tical property in Ireland, were to be 'applied to certain local Purposes, by which he (Mr. Litton) understood secular purposes, such as county charges, Ac. It was for this reason that the Learned Member for Dublin was principally pleased with the resolutions. Why did not the Government dissipate the doubt which new enveloped the question, by leaving the discussion on these resolutions open to fair and free debate? What right had the Government to chain Honourable Members to the principle. of appropriation, esta blished in the resolution of 183$ ? Every Hon. Member was eetitled to come free and unshackled to the consideration of the subject, with out being tied down to the principle of appropriation, to which so large a portion of the House strenuously objected.—(clear.) He should be wrong in entering at large into the question of whether there would or would not be a surplus. It was perfectly well known that there was a large body in this House, an well as of those attached to the Church of England out of doors, that would never yield to the question of appropriation. It was perfectly well known that the tithe question could not be settled while they hung upon it the resolutions --of 1835 as a necessary ingredient. He therefore arraigned them as the parties who were seeking to preveilt this question from being settled—who themselves preserved iu the country the apple of discord, by reason of refusing t• withdraw the resolutions which kept up the discord.—(Hear, hear.) Let them introduce any re solution or Bill, which should contain the assertion of end, principles as they thought fit. Let it be discussed, then—but let them not be said, as free agents, to enter into the discussion of any Bill whilst they were c 7 ossged with these objectionable resolutions. As some cases had been mentioned on the other side,he should mention one which happened under his own knowledge. The vicar of a small parish whose sole income from his tithes, tinier the composition, was 138/. lie was a man who had served 29 years in the Chinch, and had a large family. From that he has to pay a deduction for Viceri d Tithes and other things, by which his income is reduced to abeet 1031. Tereedenths of his gross income were taken away, and the roan who hail served twenty-Mee years had only aii income of ti , /. a tear to support himself and family.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Ills is ould not go further into instances, but he would venture to say that in the greater numbs of cases the ineohie of the clergyman was not 100/. a-year. The Clergy did not want the aid of Parliament, fur the law as it at present existed afforAel them protection. He would venture to assert that the reeolutions that had been passed, and which it was now the object of the present metion to rescind, were adopted to satisfy a certain seetioe of that House. If they opened the compositions entered into under Mr. Gouiburn's Act of 1824, the Clergyman woeld be unable to prove title—was he then to be sent before an adverse Commission: r to has e his title imp:ire:l into after it hail been secured to Lim by Act of Pal liament for twent y.one yea's ? if the Ministers west, the fremess of the resolutions, which he doubted--if, tie Sore doing so, they had, t. ken the trouble to enquire inns these cignpositions, they must have e been well aware that th e y could not be °pet:eel without deer : i v ate the Clergyman of his rights. . Therefore, or. the part o f tli Clergymen of Ireland he objected M. the resolutions, as beteg an unealled fcr interference with their ta, bat he obje he.; mere cones he considered that it was an attem p t 10 elestroetthe titles of the clergy. If t iie clergy werenow to ne interfered with ass lit Lite take,. rein them their rights 'e ight be subjected to an annual revisiose isle had not the slightest doubt that the object of the reseltetithis was to destroy the Church its I LISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY, CONTRACTS FOR WORKS.
